NEW YORK: The key witness in the case of a Chilean bishop accused of covering sexual abuse said on Saturday he gave"eye opening"testimony to a papally mandated investigator and hoped it would lead to the truth. Juan Carlos Cruz met in a church on Manhattan's Upper West Side for about four hours with Archbishop Charles Scicluna, one of the most experienced and respected Vatican investigators of clergy sexual abuse."It's been a good experience and I leave here very hopeful today,"he told reporters afterwards."I feel that I was heard ... it was very intense and very detailed and very, sometimes, eye-opening for them."(Reuters)
